java: array within an array?

[Desova]

i'm trying to store a 3x3 grid using a nested array:

  | 0 | 1 | 2
-------------  
0 | x | x | x
-------------
1 | x | x | x
-------------
2 | x | x | x

i tried doing

int square [3][3];

but having no joy, seems i'm doing a 2d array which works nothing like i had intended.

any ideas on how i'd have an array within an array, effectivey. so that i can access any co-ordinates from within a loop? (i.e. x = square[2][1]

sorted. in case anyones interested the way to do it is:

int square[][] = new int[3][3]

don't forget the semi-colon
